Video: Oneohtrix Point Never: "Still Life (Excerpt)"

On October 1, Daniel Lopatin's Oneohtrix Point Never will release his R Plus Seven LP through new label home Warp. Today, Lopatin has shared the abstract video for "Still Life (Excerpt)", created by frequent collaborator Nate Boyce, with whom he's performed at the Museum of Modern Art, ICA, and Barbican.

The clip of morphing, three-dimensional shapes has got a plastic, futuristic aesthetic. A press release offers the following commentary:

Incongruous surfaces come together in a nexus of fetishistic material interactions. Cryptic ads for obscure objects, fragments of sculptural forms, and remnants of material surfaces are thrown into the mix with bulging semi-solids, unctuous quasi-liquids that are agitated into an animated flow. There is no resolution other than the suspension of these discrete elements from diverging orders: liquid, mineral, organic, consumerist, etc.

The music itself culls source material from Lopatin's installation at last year's Cannes festival and his contributions toDoug Aitken's Song 1 Happeningat the Hirshhorn Museum in DC.UPDATE: The music is not culled from these performances but rather was created in the same style.
